BOTH INTERNATIONAL & INLAND At night, a broken down vessel being towed would show the same lights as which vessel?
⢠International & Inland Navigation Rules â Lights for vessels being towed ⢠Difference between towing vesselâs lights and tow (the vessel or object being towed) ⢠How a vessel shows its status when it has no power of its own at night
⢠Think about what lights the towing vessel shows, and then separately what the object being towed must show. Which set applies to the disabled vessel itself? ⢠If a vessel is broken down and under tow, is it still considered âunderway by its own powerâ or more like an âobject in towâ such as a barge or similar unit? ⢠Which of the listed choices best matches the simple, standard lighting arrangement required for a vessel or unit that is being towed and is not itself doing the towing?
⢠Verify in the Navigation Rules what lights are required for the tow itself (the vessel/objects being towed), not for the tug. ⢠Check which of the answer choices represents a simple towed unit instead of a selfâpropelled or anchoring status. ⢠Confirm that a broken down vessel under tow does not display the same lights as the towing vessel that is providing the propulsion.
